Tumblr Savior v0.2.1

- Now hides source attribution. There is now an option to hide the source attribute on your dashboard so you don’t feel bombarded by ugly corporate logos and incorrect, redundant source attribution. It’s too bad Tumblr didn’t make this an option themselves. If people want to see source attribution it should be their choice. I was perfectly happy only following the people who linked to their sources.

I’ve also updated the greasemonkey version of this script to hide the source attribute. Enjoy!

TumTaster v0.3.1

I couldn’t leave well enough alone, I had to make the options page prettier. I also added buttons to remove songs from the playlist. Enjoy!

TumTaster v0.3

Now with blacklists and whitelists. You can add usernames, artist names, and song titles and TumTaster will look at the content in the post and see if it should add the song to your playlist or not. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Hey Tumblr, Quit Messing With The Dashboard

I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but I’m sick of all the junk Tumblr is cramming onto the side of the dashboard. So I made this Chrome Extension to rein in the out of control Tumblr dashboard.

You can customize this to only hide certain sections of the dashboard. Just enter in the sections you want to remove in the options page and you’re good to go.

TumTaster v0.2

I’ve updated TumTaster to make it a little prettier, fix a small bug, and added an explanation about how to get the MP3 playback function to work. If you just want to use this to get download links, you don’t need to worry about the flash permissions. You should update from v0.1 because I accidentally killed the previous and next links on the “tagged” pages of the dashboard (sorry!).

By the way, if you want to hack on this be my guest. The TumTaster git repository is hosted on github. I do need help making it prettier. For future functionality I plan to use Chrome’s HTML5 player and store data using HTML5 as well. For now I’m using SoundManager because Chrome’s current HTML5 player is full on amateur hour with it’s 0.5 second interaction delay.

TumTaster for Google Chrome

Since I switched over to using Google Chrome I’ve been missing my TumTaster greasemonkey script. Luckily, I can now publish this extension which builds on my original work. Besides adding download links to every single audio post, TumTaster extension for Google Chrome now keeps track of all the audio posts you’ve seen recently on your dashboard or on various tumblr blogs. When I first started using TumTaster I was like, hell yeah, the people I follow have great taste in music, this is what I’m talking about!

Just click on the little Tumblr button next to your address bar and it’ll show you all the posts that have audio tracks in them. click on the url of the post to play the song. If you right click on the Tumblr button next to your address bar you can edit options for repeat and random. Fair warning: the random is pretty crappy and you might get the same songs over and over again.

I know it ain’t pretty but it let’s me play music and keep going through my dashboard and that’s all I need. Hope you like it. I’ll slowly make it prettier and add more functionality.

Tumtaster

Tumtaster for Greasemonkey is a greasemonkey script that lets you download the mp3’s you see on Tumblr so that you can put them onto your Muxtape or on your iPod or wherever you want to put them.

I’ve created a TumTaster extension for Google Chrome located at http://tumtaster.chrome.bjornstar.com. It puts lovely download links on your dashboard and your favorite tumblelogs and now has a built-in MP3 player to keep track of all the music tracks you saw and play them whenever you want. Finally you don’t need to open up a separate page just to keep looking through your dashboard while you’re playing a song. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
